The "in" crowd has special priveleges on this board

[Dolcejn]

Didn't mean to sound defensive (if in fact you were referring to me?) - just standing up for a person who was friendly to me when I first came on the board  

[Runner-up]

Yes, I was referring to you. You have nice eyes by the way, even in a blurred picture.

[Dolcejn]

Damn it, knew I shouldn't have stuck my nose in this thread.  I'm always defensive in the morning.

But I came out of it with a compliment! Very nice of you to say, runner-up. 

[Runner-up]

It's not in my character to compliment people, but I figure since I'm locking horns with people in positions of authority on this thread, a little levity is what the doctor ordered.

Let me add further that LSD as it is right now is the cure to isolation. Even if you live alone, and have a fairly unstructured daily lifestyle, LSD can bring you the release you need. Thanks, guys. You keep me strong.

Dolcejn--you didn't sound the least bit defensive in your post. 


And I really don't understand why people have such a problem with the fact that the In Crowd has special privledges.  If you want those privledges, just join the In Crowd...

People are fairly defensive about this.

gee, maybe that means you're wrong?

Am I the only one who thinks all of this is pretty ridiculous?  Pookie and kgd are regular people, y'know.  They just happen to be able to move some threads around.  So they don't congratulate every single person?  Who cares?  No one does.  So if they're guilty, so is everyone else.  I can't believe I'm even writing this, this is so stupid.  Grow up people.

[Julie Fern]

you first.  (now you going to eat cathedral?)

Oh give me a break. First of all, LSD is not a democracy. It's a service that you get to use for free thanks to Andrew. Andrew has chosen to appoint certain people to help him manage the board. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to participate in this board in the first place. There are, obviously, other options that you are free to choose instead.

Second, Pookie and kgd are not legally or morally obligated to congratulate every single person or treat everyone like their friend. They help manage the board, weed out the annoying stuff and generally keep things organized - it's not like they're the teacher and have to give every kid the same amount of attention.

But most importantly, grow up! It's an internet message board. It really, really doesn't matter what goes on here. I'm hoping that you have enough going on in your real life as to not get all upset because you don't think you're part of an "in crowd" of people who don't even know each other in real life.  I thought we had left that behind in high school.
